It is simply a matter of mathematics, since they are the ones that put more models on the market (and with a wide difference from the second one). Since we have to start somewhere, I have chosen Garmin because it is the one that concentrates more users. And not only for the race, but also for cyclists and triathletes. I want to start a series of articles where I can make an approach to all these terms and values, so that you can know what each one of them is, how you can use it in the analysis of your training and how observing them will allow you to improve your sport performance.
Where have I started to slow down? When do I start to get overly tired? How far am I able to go and for how long?
But the possibilities of analysis go far beyond that. Average rate, heart rate graph or meters ascended and descended. Many users simply look at the average end data.
And that is where this complete guide to Garmin Connect comes in, so that you can learn how to use the platform. Because having a lot of information can be a very powerful tool, but without the ability to analyse it, it is useless. The function of a GPS watch is not only to provide rhythm and heart rate data during your workouts, but also to help you analyse the different metrics you have recorded, and to do this correctly you must know what information you can consult and what each section means.
